TREATING CAID CAUSED BY MOLD

If you believe that mold is causing your CAID symptoms to flare, you will need to follow the protocols outlined in the other categorys of the site for each specific limb. This may include medical and sometimes surgical therapy. For example, antibiotics are effective in the control of the bacterial infection
causing chronic sinusitis. However, antibiotics will not affect the fungi. Over-the-counter (OTC) remedies may offer some relief of symptoms, but they have little effect on the inflammation caused by this reaction to fungus. Certainly, they do not control the effect of the toxins released by the eosinophils. However, the inflammatory reaction can be controlled by nasal steroid sprays, as well as nasal irrigation. Endoscopic removal (debridement) of the fungal material and its secreted toxins has been shown to be beneficial as well.
